[Verse 1]
A D E
I dug a hole and filled it up with compost
A D E
Rested in the cool grass for a minute
A D E
I saw the future in a dream last night
F#m A D E
There's nothing in it
[Interlude]
A F#m D
A F#m D
[Verse 2]
A D E
I set the sapling in the hole
A D E
Started gently tamping down the dirt
A D E
I saw the future in a dream last night
F#m A D E
Somebody's gonna get hurt, somebody's gonna get hurt
F#m A D A
I hope it's not me
D A E D
But I suspect it's going to have to be
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
A D E
I dug my heels in for the winter
A Esus7 E
And I waited for the snow
A D E
But something was stuck up in the clouds, something was stuck up there
F#m A D E
It couldn't let go
[Interlude]
A F#m D
A F#m D
[Verse 4]
A D E
And when the time came, I could see it happen
A D E
Blossoms black and sweet as Texas crude
A D E
I saw the future flowering like a ruptured vessel
F#m A D E
Somebody's gonna get screwed
F#m A D A
It won't be me
F#m A E D
Some day I am going to walk out of here free
[Outro]
